Several men were sitting In store at Jameson's tan-y yard talking of the piotufe, which they hai seen in the "art" gallery of A county fair.
 "Ycs, looked putty we'll" said an old fellow, "but they ain't what call fine paintin' Boys, you know'd Andy Summers2"
 "Ycs."
 Wall, Andy was painter One day he painted the pictur' of an over coat an it was so nachul that his daddy put it on an had wore 1t some fime before he found ont 1t waa a :pictur'."
 "Yes,' rejoined fellow named Smith, "I have heard of that pletur' Andy was a putty good cub painter, thar ain't no mistake about that, but when you want to get some right good work done you've got 10 20 Il fcler that has Earned the trade sho huff. Now Miles Stokes was what gal! number pBe painter. You nil know'd Miles lived on the old As- ford place the year after the war.

Of course ain't no art critic, nor nothin' of that sort, and don't pretend to put my jedgmcnt up any higher than you can reach, but somehow he always struck me as be- in a pow'ful nachul painter.

SAVED HIMSELF.

Several men who were leaving a barbecue heard some one grooming, and, looking about them, they found an old fellow wallowing under tree.
 ''What is the matter?" one of the men asked.
 ''Go on an let me alone Oh, Lord, what fool your servant has been."
 "You seem to be suffering greatly. Perhaps can help you"
 "Lord, there is not bigger fool on earth than Thy servant"
 "Come, tell us what is the matter" i"
 The old fellow sat up and leaned against tree "Gentlemen," said he, "I have been to the barbecue. For several days I saved myself up for this here occasion. I wouldn't eat nothin' at home, for wanted to do justice to this barbecue. got here this mornin' as hungry as a wolf. went down to the pits where they was cookin' ther hiOdtt anu tIiC SCNAt VI IildQC LiC SO hungry that I could have chawed a pair O saddlebags.
